Synopsis

Romantic comedy drama based on the play 'Lady Windermere's Fan' by Oscar Wilde. Mrs Erlynne (Helen Hunt) escapes her debts in 1930s New York by running off to the Amalfi Coast, where she meets aristocratic young couple Meg (Scarlett Johansson) and Robert Windermere (Mark Umbers). As Lord Windermere does his best to help Mrs Erlynne regain her place in society, local gossip assumes that they are having an affair. Lady Winderemere, pursued by Lord Darlington (Stephen Campbell Moore) gradually becomes aware of the threat, but what she doesn't realise is that Mrs Erlynne is in fact her mother, whom she has never met.
